Starting at 8:00am on April 25, the Ha Noi Railway Transport JSC (Haraco) officially began selling North-South train tickets in a bid to meet increasing travel demand of passengers during the summer transport peak period 2022 between May 26 and August 21.

Accordingly, the company will re-operate a pair of SE1/2 passenger trains on the Thong Nhat (North-South) route, and prolong the Ha Noi - Saigon journey as before for a pair of SE3/SE4 passenger trains.

In order to serve passengers travelling on the North-South route, Haraco will arrange passenger trains for inter-provincial routes such as pairs of NA1/NA2 and SE35/SE36 passenger trains operating on the Ha Noi and Vinh route, a pair of QB1/QB2 trains connecting Ha Noi with Dong Hoi, and a pair of SE17/ SE18 passenger trains between Ha Noi and Hue.

In the southern area, a pair of SPT1/SPT2 trains will run on the HCMC - Phan Thiet route, pairs of SNT1/SNT2 and SNT3/SNT4 trains on the HCMC - Nha Trang route, a pair of SQN1/SQN2 trains on the HCMC and Quy Nhon route, a pair of SE25/SE26 trains on the HCMC - Quang Ngai route, and a pair of SE21/SE22 on the HCMC - Da Nang route.

Currently, Haraco is still selling train tickets to serve passengers during the upcoming public holiday of April 30 and May 1.

In addition to the previously established pairs of trains, which are almost full, the company has recently arranged more trains operating on the HCMC - Nha Trang, and Ha Noi - Hai Phong, routes.
